HISTORY'S
BADASSES

Badass Tours takes you to special sites in historic Amsterdam to tell stories of individual women who fought, wrote, calculated, and led to chart their course through Amsterdam’s chaotic and complicated past.

Choose one or several of the themes: women, Jewish people, LGBT+ people or BIPOC. You can also ask for an interest area, such as artistic, academic, leaders or warriors. It can be up to three hours and customized by pick-up/drop-off location.

When the Netherlands became the first country in the world to legalize gay marriage, four couples were married by the Mayor of Amsterdam. But did you know that the city’s LGBT+ history stretches back to the medieval ages?

Use your phone to explore Amsterdam’s Historical Center! This self-guided tour experience uses audio, images, maps, and text to introduce you to the women, BIPOC, LGBT+, and Jewish people who made Amsterdam what it is.

Forget canals and piles – Amsterdam is a city built on stories. Some of its most interesting, though, have been overlooked by history. Stroll through the spacious Plantage neighborhood and hear a cross-section of the untold stories of Amsterdam’s history.
